Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
National Edition
Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg
****************************
Mumia Must Live: An Emergency Report On the Medical
Mistreatment Of The Worldâs Most Renowned Political Prisoner
with
. Esperanza Martell, a peace and human-rights activist, who
has worked on social justice issues dealing with Puerto Rican
independence, political prisoners, education and health care
from a class, race and gender perspective. She teaches
community organizing at Hunter College, School of Social Work.
and
. Johanna Fernandez, with the Campaign to Bring Mumia Home,
who teaches 20th-century U.S. history, the history of social
movements, the political economy of American cities, and
African-American history

In 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that prisoners were entitled to the
same medical and dental treatment as everyone else in their communities,
and that prisons withholding treatment may be held liable for violating the
U.S. Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. However, the
reality is that we might never know how many prisoners have suffered or
died from medical and health care neglect, or willful mistreatment behind
the walls. But, the case of journalist, world-renowned humanist and
political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, now in the fight for his life against the
outrageous and deadly medical treatment in the prison system is
highlighting for the public the necessary fight to ensure that no more
members of this vulnerable population suffer and are deprived of adequate
health care â that the Supreme Court holding be followed!
